Assessment

Quiz 4 (2 points each)

• Give at least 5 advantages/disadvantages of NETWOKS

Advantages:

1. Sharing devices such as printers saves money.

 2. Files can easily be shared between users.

3. Network users can communicate by email and instant messenger.

4. Security is good - users cannot see other users' files unlike on stand-alone machines.

5. Data is easy to backup as all the data is stored on the file server.

Disadvantages:

1. Purchasing the network cabling and file servers can be expensive.

2. Managing a large network is complicated, requires training and a network manager

usually needs to be employed.

3. If the file server breaks down the files on the file server become inaccessible. Email
might still work if it is on a separate server. The computers can still be used but are
isolated.

4. Viruses can spread to other computers throughout a computer network.

5. There is a danger of hacking, particularly with wide area networks. Security procedures
are needed to prevent such abuse, eg a firewall.

Advantages:

1. Cost Savings
2. Speed of delivery
3. Immediate Upgrades
4. Collaboration
5. Flexibility
